CLO’s North Star Academy (at no cost to you!) while doing your usual shopping?
We are excited to announce that we are a certified cause on Goodshop!
Whenever you plan to shop online, just head to the Goodshop / Goodsearch website, pick “Community Living Opportunities North Star Academy” as your cause, and then use the Goodsearch search engine to navigate to any of the thousands of participating retailers. North Star Academy will receive a small donation simply for your search as well as a percentage of the amount of any money you spend at the participating retailer.
Goodsearch works with both local companies in the Kansas City area (e.g., sports teams, restaurants, spas) and national companies (e.g., Starbucks, Target, Walmart).
As if that isn’t enough of a reason in itself to shop through Goodshop, they also offer thousands of discounts and coupons for your purchases!
This is all at no cost or obligation to you. All it takes is a few minutes to set up your cause initially and then remembering to search through Goodsearch instead of your old preferred search engine.
We thank you in advance for your support of CLO’s North Star Academy, and we look forward to being able to build our program with any donations received through this endeavor. Please give us a call, email, or Facebook message if you need any help using Goodshop / Goodsearch.

We are proud to announce that AUTISM SPEAKS has awarded it's prestigious "House to Home Prize" to our Neighborhood Network Program. This year there over 250 deserving candidates for the award.
CLO's Neighborhood Network is changing lives and providing opportunities for independent, safe, fulfilling and meaningful life for adults with autism!
Currently, 81% of adults with autism live with their aging parents. While there are many organizations and alliances dedicated to making the search for housing and community living easier, a major breakthrough that meets the escalating demand for homes and supports for those with autism is needed.
Autism Speaks sponsored the "Autism Speaks House to Home Prize" to bring about this breakthrough.
